The D'Oyleys and Miss Johnson and Miss Palmer made the walking
party, and Mr. Seward joined us. Mr. Raikes and all his family
were come from Gloucester to see the royal family on the walks,
which were very much crowded, but with the same respectful
multitude, who never came forward, but gazed and admired at the
most humble distance,

Mr. Raikes introduced me to the Bishop of Gloucester, Dr.
Halifax, and afterwards, much more to my satisfaction, to the
Dean of Gloucester, Dr. Tucker, the famous author of "Cui
bono."(283) I was very glad to see him: he is past eighty, and
has a most shrewd and keen old face.

I went afterwards to tea with the D'Oyleys and Miss Palmer, and
Mr. Seward again accompanied us. Miss Palmer brought me home in
Sir John's carriage, making it drive as near as possible to the
house.

But just before we quitted the walks I was run after by a quick
female step :--"Miss Burney, don't you know me? have you forgot
Spotty?"--and I saw Miss Ogle. She told me she had longed to
come and see me, but did not know if she might. She is here with
her mother and two younger sisters. I promised to wait on them.
Mrs. Oake was daughter to the late Bishop of Winchester, who was
a preceptor of the king's: I knew, therefore, I might promise
with approbation.
